Highlights
  • Piazza dell’Unità Italiana - Our food tour offers an overview of the many tasty specialities of the city, moving from selected cured meats and cheeses to different types of pasta, strictly kneaded by hand.

  • Via Guelfa - We start with the typical Florencian aperitivo tasting cured meats and local cheeses from Tuscany.

  • Palazzo Medici Riccardi - After that, the first dish will be the traditional Potatoes tortelli or the tasty pici. Strictly kneaded by hand in a top-ranking trattoria of Firenze. A must-try!

  • Piazza Santa Trinita - You cannot leave Florence without having tried the traditional “Pappa al pomodoro” and the “Ribollita”. Both dishes from the farmers’ tradition, wisely prepared in the same way for generations, in one of the most typical and lively trattorias of Florence.

  • Via dei Neri - And if you weren’t full enough, there’s also a Florentine street food stop. The delicious schiacciata, a “focaccia” stuffed with local products of the highest quality, or the delicious coccoli fried and also accompanied by local salami and delicacies.

  • Ponte Santa Trinita - Finally, a dessert to end our tour. Depending on availability and season, we will taste the best gelato in Florence or a typical sweet in a historic pastry shop.

Great walking and eating with fantastic guide! - We had a fantastic evening walking to several places with our wonderful guide Gennaro, who was knowledgeable, kind and organized. The size of the group was perfect (total around 7) and we recommend those who want to get a feel of the city especially upon initial arrival! Thank you Gennaro!!!

Great Time!! - Wonderful event to do. Marie, our guide, was very knowledgeable about the food, culture, and history of Florence. If you want a tour guide who is engaging, funny, and smart…request Marie to guide you.

Excellent guide - During a trip to Italy, we did three food tours. This was the best one. The guide, Mara, was excellent in that she was knowledgeable, personable, and authentic. We also liked the fact that we could sit for a few at each place and enjoy the food.

Great way to try some new dishes - We loved our Florence food tour. I wish we had done it sooner! Answered so many of the questions we had from our dining experiences around Tuscany and introduced us to new dishes we would have never tried! The gelato was the perfect ending. We were paired with one small family, and everyone was very full by the end! We had the drink card included, which is worth it to enjoy some wines as well!
